SAN FRANCISCO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — September 21, 2015 —
TechCrunch Disrupt â€“ Today
Organic
Motion unveiled the new
RealityCapture
Live, the worldâ€™s first real-time Virtual Reality (VR) content
creation studio. The company is offering a limited number of
RealityCapture LIVE Development Kits for a discounted price of $995,
which can be requested at:
www.organicmotion.com/devkit.
Organic Motion will be showcasing RealityCapture Live at
TechCrunch
Disrupt SF, Sept. 21-23, in the Startup Alley VR Pavilion.

Based on the companyâ€™s breakthrough
markerless
motion capture technology, RealityCapture Live allows people to
directly create 3D virtual world assets without the need to scan, model,
or character rig. Whatever appears on the RealityCapture Live stage can
be streamed or recorded for later re-broadcast and retrieval, making it
ideal for broadcast and internet-based interactive opportunities,
including blogs, gaming and entertainment to create content compatible
with the new VR paradigm.

â€śWe are excited to solve one of the biggest issues VR faces today: how
to generate rapid 3D content in ways that are compatible with
traditional TV, Web & Film content creation pipelines,â€ť said Andrew
Tschesnok, CEO of OM. â€śThink of it as a 3D green screen setup, except
there is no green screen and the assets are live in full
view-point-independent 3D.â€ť

RealityCapture Live works as a real-time 3D scanner which captures both
actors and props on a stage, and immediately streams the content over
the Internet into VR worlds. Instead of controlling avatars or virtual
characters, the system provides full 3D geometry of subjects, with
complete volume and facial scans. This gives broadcast reporters,
weathermen, commentators, bloggers and actors the ability to broadcast
live to millions of people wearing HMDs like the Oculus Rift.

RealityCapture Live is built on top of the companyâ€™s OpenStage system,
which powers interactive installations and animation studios worldwide.
Shipping in Q1 2016, new dev kit includes 14 HD USB3 Cameras with full
image processing capabilities. The system requires bandwidth
capabilities similar to HD video streaming, which allows for massive
scalability of the architecture from peer to peer broadcasts, to massive
VR scenarios like concerts or sports performances. Existing OpenStage
customers with active service contracts will be able to install
RealityCapture Live with a free software upgrade.

Organic Motion is the leading developer of accurate, professional,
markerless motion capture systems for game development, animation, life
sciences, and military training and simulation. Motion capture is
changing and we are leading the way. Systems that require special suits
and markers are being displaced by advanced markerless technology that
can capture natural, unencumbered motion.
